"If you like your music to grin at you with a wide-eyed look of barely contained insanity, then The Burning of Rome was custom-built for you. The core of this San Diego band includes Adam Traub (Lead Vocals & Keyboard), Lee Williams (Drums), Aimee Jacobs (Synthesizer), Joe Aguilar (Guitar), and Coli More... Kohl (Bass). However, they often play with a cavalcade of additional performers who play everything from the accordion to the saxophone, drums of varying shapes and sizes, and even the triangle. They'll often add a DJ for good measure, so the shows are worth seeing just to watch the logistical feat of getting that circus on stage."
